Rachel and Donna argue over which one of them they think Huntley has a thing for. Donna tells her he asked her out and she turned him down.
Louis yells at Harvey for shutting down the interview and Harvey reminds him that this is still his case. Louis points out that his client is Hessington Oil. Jessica thinks the better move is for Eva to step down and tells both men it is her decision. Harvey says it actually isn't her call because it's really Darby's case.
Harvey assigns Mike to "Katrina duty" to make sure she and Louis don't screw them over somehow.
Louis goes to Jessica in private and asks her to let him be her "black swam," to do the things she can't do. She turns him down.
In an incredibly flirty manner Huntley asks Donna to help him with his work load while he's in town. She agrees, in an equally flirty manner.
Louis asks Katrina to work closely with Mike to keep tabs on what he and Harvey are up to. Katrina suggests Louis go over Harvey head and speak with Jessica. He lies and says he doesn't work that way.
Mike tells Katrina he's working on finding dirt on Tony. She thinks he's going about it the wrong way and accidentally gives Mike an idea. They see eye-to-eye on a strategy.
Jessica goes to see Darby in Montreal. She wants him to make it clear to Harvey that she is in charge. Darby doesn't agree and thinks Jessica is overstepping. He's not budging on Eva.
Louis loves Katrina and Mike's strategy. She has to admit it was Mike's idea and thinks he should bring Mike with him to his Tony meeting. The idea being that Mike will see him beat up Tony and the story will make its way back to Jessica. Harvey then walks in and tells Louis that Mike is coming with him when he goes to see Tony. Harvey tries to throw Louis off the case but Louis responds forcefully that Eva would never support diverting resources from her murder trial.
Eva tells Harvey and Mike she wants to speak at her own trial. Harvey thinks she'll be ripped to shreds by Cameron if she takes the stand and promises to show her.
Louis seems to get shot down by one of Tony's underlings when he arrives for a meeting. Louis thinks Tony's company will be in trouble with the FTC over some of their holdings, but he's told that Tony is buddies with the FTC commissioner. It sounds as if Tony is one step ahead.
Mike and Katrina appear to be getting along better on a personal level. Mike offers a handshake and a truce, which she accepts.
Donna tells Rachel she's got a date of some kind with Huntley.
Louis tells Jessica that he wants off the case because Louis has handcuffed him with regard to the correct play of Eva stepping down. She responds by giving her blessing for him to go to the board and get to them to remove Eva.
Huntley tells Donna that after the play they'll be having dinner with Daniel Day-Lewis. She responds by saying they aren't going to the theater and the couple grabs a cab.
Harvey and Mike conduct a practice cross examination of Eva. She emotionally tells them her company made paid extra money for the pipeline so that any family hurt by the project would be made whole. She's also planning to shutdown the entire project, including the pipeline, after the trial is over. After Eva leaves the two men realize that Eva didn't have anything to do with the murders.
Louis meets with a board member about removing Eva and says it's the only way to beat Tony. They strike up a deal and he agrees to retain Louis' firm afterwards.
Mike tells Katrina what happened with Eva and the fact she didn't actually do it. Mike is certain Eva is telling the truth and shows her tape of their questioning.
Katrina finds Louis, who tells him that Eva will be removed the next day. She shows him Eva's interview.
Harvey tells Mike they need to get Eva to speak to the board the following day before the scheduled meeting.
Louis tells Jessica Eva had nothing to do with the murders. Louis doesn't want to be responsible for helping an innocent woman lose her company, but Jessica doesn't care. All that matters to her is the takeover vote and the market.
Clearly Donna and Huntley had an enjoyable evening and make plans to do it again. Donna tells Rachel she hadn't considered what Harvey will think.
The next day Eva surprises Harvey with word that she's been voted out. She's also furious that Hessington Oil retained his firm. Eva therefore thinks Harvey was the only person who benefited.
Harvey is mad at Jessica for going behind him and tells her she made a mistake giving Darby 51 percent in the first place. He thinks it's personal with her because she can't be No. 2.
Harvey isn't happy to learn Donna was doing work for Huntley. She chokes on telling him what's going on between them.
Katrina makes it clear to Mike that she's committed to Louis. He seems to respect that. Rachel walks by after she leaves and asks about their apparent bonding. Mike tells Rachel he loves her and she says the same.
A furious Darby comes to New York to tell him he doesn't like that she went behind his back. She thinks he holds the 51/49 thing over her too much and reminds him she just won the firm $14 million.

Unfinished Business

Louis is still bitter over Mike leaving him at the alter and returning to Harvey.
Harvey asks Louis to work the attempted takeover of Eva's company. He also suggests Louis look at taking on a "rebound associate." At first he dismisses the idea, but after further colloquy, considers it.
Rachel apologizes to Donna for the things she said and the two appear to make up.
Eva asks Harvey to work for her. She wants him to replace her No. 2. During the conversation Cameron arrives and places Eva under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder. Cameron tells Harvey that six people were killed by the colonel Eva paid off to secure her pipeline. The charges are bogus and it appears Cameron simply wants to beat Harvey.
Katrina brings Louis research in order to convince him to put her on the case. When he realizes she isn't interested in being his personal associate he tells her to get lost.
Harvey brings Mike to see Eva in jail. He badgers her in order to help prepare her for what will come from the other side. She knew very little about the deaths other than the fact they took place. Eva wants to know whether Harvey thinks she did it and he convinces her not to ask the question.
Katrina sneaks into Harvey's office and attempts to place a file with a strategy for beating Cameron. Mike stops her and makes it clear that he's back and working all of Harvey's cases with him. Donna walks in and backs Mike up, making the situation very clear to Katrina.
Jessica and Harvey talk about being duped by Cameron. Harvey makes sure she's okay with Mike being back on his team and she lets Mike know everything is fine. Mike suggests using the bail hearing to double cross Cameron.
During the bail hearing Harvey challenges Cameron with making the case personal. The conversation moves to judge's chamber where Harvey tells her Cameron has no concrete evidence. She won't throw it out but sets bail at one dollar.
Stephen Huntley, a "fixer" from the London office, shows up in New York to see Harvey. Harvey thinks he's there to hijack his case. Huntley says he's there to help with "cultural integration" and wants Harvey's help. Harvey has no interest.
Jessica tells Harvey she wants him to figure out what Huntley is up to. Donna appears to be interested in Huntley.
Katrina makes an attempt to apologize to Mike. He's not having it and she guesses it has to do with her treatment of Rachel, which she finds interesting.
Harvey and Huntley have dinner. He demands the truth about why he's in New York. Huntley says he's there on behalf of Darby to help him take over the firm from Jessica. Huntley says he doesn't have aspirations for taking over the firm himself. Cameron drops by with a list of witnesses who saw the colonel present during the murders.
Mike tells Rachel about the interaction with Katrina. This leads to a somewhat awkward discussion of whether the two of them are boyfriend and girlfriend. They make it official. Just then a firm-wide E-mail is circulated that makes Mike look like an idiot, using audio Katrina took during their conversation. It is a cartoon video where Mike is presented as Harvey's baby.
Katrina is in Louis' office, saying that she's helped make Mike Ross the bigger fool. She now needs him to take her on or she'll be "done."
Mike tells Rachel "this means war."
Harvey and Mike meet with Eva. They present a legal strategy that involves attacking the credibility of the witnesses. But Eva wants to pay them off and avoid a trial. When Harvey says he won't do it, she fires him and says she'll find someone who will.
Rachel has gained access to Katrina's Facebook account to acquire pictures.
Harvey tells Mike they should still be working on Eva's defense, since Cameron will be expecting this and they're going to have to bail her out at some point. He also tells Mike not to respond to Katrina.
Harvey tells Katrina she'll never climb any further in the firm and if she ever goes after Mike again he'll find a way to fire her.
Rachel tells Mike what happened between Harvey and Katrina. This conversation gives Mike an idea.
Mike thinks the plan should be to get the witnesses to sue them in civil court. They can then settle out of court with non-disclosure agreements -- a type of legal bribe. The plan is to get them to use PTSD.
Harvey sees Huntley and Eva taking the elevator together and is immediately furious. He confronts Huntley, who tells him that he advises Eva not to bribe the witnesses and to stick with her Harvey.
Harvey tells Jessica about Huntley getting Eva back.
Mike brings his plan to Eva. She wants to know whether Mike has a sense of what Harvey thinks about her guilt or innocence. He doesn't betray Harvey and Eva is impressed.
Huntley is starting to win Donna over.
Louis asks Katrina to help him on the case. She thanks him.
Harvey and Mike share a drink for the first time ever. Mike says he knows both he and Harvey believe Eva is guilty of the murders. Harvey tells Mike about his deal with Darby to take over the firm.

I Want You to Want Me

Open with an emotional Louis telling the associates he will no longer be in charge of them.
Mike tells Rachel he's made no progress with Harvey, despite telling him what happened with Jessica.
Jessica tells Louis he can have one associate to partner with and allows him pick whomever he wishes. Louis then goes to see Donna, asking if she will asks Harvey if he can have Mike as his new associate. She won't be his go-between and Louis goes directly to Harvey who gives his blessing.
Jessica goes to see Cameron, who is serving as special prosecutor for the case against Eva. He tells her he has Eva dead to rights and gives her a surveillance video as proof.
Louis takes Mike to a steak house for lunch, the two also feasting on wine and cheesecake. Mike is greatly impressed by the food. Afterwards Louis introduces Mike to the ownership, telling him the restaurant is about to become a shopping center because of eminent domain. Mike basically says there's nothing to be done because nobody wins those cases. Louis says his dream is to re-write the law and wants Mike to help him.
Harvey isn't happy Jessica went to see Cameron without consulting him. She says she wants to help him, creating a "dream team."
Rachel tells Donna she doesn't want Mike and Harvey's relationship to impact theirs. Donna agrees.
Louis is really working hard to help Mike with the background for the steakhouse case.
Harvey and Jessica show Eva the video, which shows her No. 2 Nick handing a case of money to a man in exchange for greasing the wheels on a new pipeline. There is no audio and Eva assures them she never uses the word "bribe." Harvey and Jessica realize Cameron must have gotten Nick to roll over on her. Eva doesn't buy it until Nick doesn't answer her call.
Rachel tells Mike that Louis is trying to recruit him. He doesn't seem sure. Louis walks in and the two come up with a new strategy for the case.
Harvey drops by Cameron's home. The two talk trash and Cameron admits that he has Nick as a witness.
In court Adrian and Mike argue that tearing down the restaurant isn't a public benefit given the quality of the business. Opposing counsel argues the key case history is that the measure is quantitative not qualitative, to which Mike responds that in the case in question, nothing ended up happening with the property. The judge ultimately rules against Louis and Mike, saying he has no basis to create new law.
Eva tells Harvey she enjoyed working with Nick and is upset that he has shown such disloyalty. She thinks that bribing Nick is the way to handle the situation, to which Harvey responds that putting her in a situation to offer yet another bribe must b Cameron's plan.
While enjoying mud baths Mike tells Louis he knows what's going on. Despite how nice he's being now, Mike remembers what kind of scumbag Louis has been in the past. Louis tells Mike he "makes him want to be a better man." Mike has revelation that there is already a provision in the law that could work for them.
Harvey pays Nick a visit at his hotel room. Instead of offering a bribe Harvey appeals to his conscious, telling Nick that he'll regret this for the rest of his life.
Louis and Mike go in front of the judge again, this time introducing a new, inflated evaluation of the property.
Donna tells Rachel about Harvey giving his blessing to poach Mike. Rachel wants her to convince Harvey to take Mike back, but Donna is still very upset about Mike's disloyalty. Donna leaves and Mike walks into the conference room, telling Rachel that he and Louis have a shot at their case. Rachel mentions going to Donna, a move which Mike thinks was a mistake. Mike tells her Harvey forbid him from telling her his secret.
Mike storms into Harvey's office and tells him it's time to get past this. Harvey responds that he didn't give Louis permission to go after him to punish Mike, he did it because the two of them are done.
Harvey and Jessica talk on the roof. She admits to lying to him about Eva and they have it out regarding the merger, Mike's history, her blackmail, etc. He asks if she'd act the same way if she had it to do over again.
We see some pre-deposition trash talking between Harvey and Cameron that involves the revelation he's leaked the tape and Eva is at the risk of losing her company.
Rachel and Donna lay everything on the line. Rachel is hurt that Harvey influenced her relationship with Mike. Donna ups the ante by admitting she recommended to Mike that he should try and get past Rachel. Rachel is furious when Donna says this happened after she told him she and Mike had kissed. Rachel thinks Donna chose work over their friendship.
During the deposition Harvey and Jessica rip Nick apart, implying that he could have been acting on his own in order to take over the company. They are giving him a taste of what things will be like in court.
Louis drops by Mike's place to say they won the case. He tells Mike that Harvey doesn't love the law the way he does. Harvey cares more about winning than anything and thinks Mike should spend some time working for lawyer who cares more about law than victory.
Cameron tracks Harvey down after the deposition. Harvey's strategy worked and he's ready to deal. The deal he offers is a huge win for Eva, but requires her pleading guilty (instead of no contest). This allows Cameron to feel as if he's won a technical victory, something which obviously bothers Harvey.
Jessica convinces Harvey that the deal is what they were offering in he beginning with only a cosmetic change. He should take the deal because they've already won.
Mike and Rachel make up.
Harvey and Eva have a conversation about losing her No. 2 which sounds very much like his situation with Mike. Donna comes in afterwards and says that perhaps he should consider forgiving Mike given everything that happened is Jessica's fault.
Mike goes to Louis' office and the two basically agree to team up. Louis leaves to get him a gift and Harvey pops in. Harvey tells him he should go back where he belongs. The two high-five and we see a despondent Louis throw a celebratory cake in the trash.

The Arrangement

Open with Mike dreaming about Rachel exposing him during a firm meeting where the merger is finalized. He wakes up in a cold sweat.
Harvey is looking at a contract offer for a basketball player-client. Donna walks in and tells him Darby needs an answer. He says "Send her to London."
Harvey meets with the general manager of the basketball team. He says asks for significantly more money, threatening to expose a past incident to another team to drive up the price.
Jessica is waiting for Harvey at his apartment. He tells her he asked for triple the money, but that the leverage he had was a bluff. During the conversation Harvey gets word that the team has caved to his demands.
Mike drops by Rachel's house. It's been several days and he wants to see her. She's pissed that she lied to him about everything. He tells Rachel about his nightmare and says what most worried him was losing her, not being fired. She suggests he go into the office the next day and quit.
Mike arrives at the office the following morning. He gets a cold stare from Harvey, then walks into Jessica's office. He says he has something to say, but she cuts him off. She tells him he's done plenty to help the firm and brings him to his brand new office. She wants him to view it as a symbol of what he can accomplish.
Louis is furious that his favorite pens have been taken away by the new quarter-master, someone named Barbara. The pens and his favorite Bran Bars are two things he expects from the firm.
Darby tells Jessica the US Government is going after Eva Hessington, the head of one of their biggest clients. He's decided to let Harvey handle the case, primarily because it will require some underhanded tactics. She doesn't like the idea but Darby makes it clear he is in charge. This case hold particular significance for Darby.
Jessica goes to Harvey's office and tells him about the Hessington case, but misrepresents the particulars. She says she fought Darby to get him on the case.
Rachel is upset when she finds out that not only has Mike not quit, but he has a brand new office. She admits her biggest issue is that she's trying so hard to achieve something he's been pretending to have accomplished.
The next morning we see Mike sign his letter of resignation. Harvey goes to Darby and tells him he wants out. If he wins the Hessington case his non-compete will be torn up and he'll be dismissed. Darby agrees.
Louis accidentally gets a look at Mike's letter of resignation and wants answers. Mike says he's had a falling out with Harvey and it can't be repaired. Louis tells Mike he needs to remind Harvey how much he needs him.
Mike tricks the firm's top IT guy, Benjamin, into admitting he hacked into Mike's personal computer. He tapes the conversation and uses it as leverage to gain access to a hard drive.
Harvey is frustrated by the amount of work he has to do with regard to Eva Hessington. Donna suggests Scotty. Harvey tracks Scotty down at the airport and asks her for help working the case. She doesn't seem interested because he's the reason she's on her way to London. He convinces her that he has strong feelings for her by recalling the first few times they met.
Nigel reveals to Louis that he, in fact, is the quartermaster named Barbara. Nigel has changed firm policy so that his pens and bars are not allowed.
Louis asks Donna for help with Nigel.
Harvey meets with Eva, telling her that Richard Jensen is the US Attorney going after her. It is a bribery charge, and Harvey has discovered a cover-up, including bribing whistle blower, that Richard will eventually find. Richard's job shouldn't be hard and Harvey makes it clear to her that he's willing to do what it takes to win.
Mike confronts Harvey, who is still fuming over his lack of loyalty. Mike's looked into Eva, but Harvey already has the info. Harvey claims an "associate at random" found the information.
Mike shows up at Rachel's door and demands they have it out. This results in them in bed "all night." The next morning things seem good between them.
Louis manages to get Darby to make him quarter-master
Richard Tells Harvey he needs jail time for Eva because he plans to run for office. Harvey tries everything, but Richard isn't budging.
Mike drops a folder on Harvey's desk.
Nigel comes to Louis and makes a plea for him to allow him to remain quartermaster. Louis says no, at which point Nigel drops a bomb: Because Luis is now quartermaster, it means he can not longer be in charge of the associates. Nigel has tricked him. Louis is devastated.
Donna returns Mike's folder to him. She says the only thing Harvey wanted from him was loyalty. Mike says he knows Harvey got the information on Eva from Scotty.
Mike goes to Benjamin for help with Harvey.
Donna shows Harvey the folder, which contains some key information on Richard.
Armed with the information that Richard's largest campaign contributor is Hessington's top competitor, Harvey pays Richard a visit. He's willing to torpedo his political career if Richard doesn't help him out.
Jessica tells Darby she's worried Harvey will use the case as leverage to leave. Darby says he doesn't think Harvey wants to leave.
A man named Cameron sees Harvey. He is going to be the new special prosecutor.
Mike brings Jessica to his office. He had Benjamin pull from her hard drive the letter she'd written threatening to expose Mike. In exchange he wants to be sent back to his cubicle, a move he hopes will win some favor with Harvey.
Harvey tells Darby he's changed his mind. He no longer wants to leave the firm. Instead he wants Darby to back him as managing partner if he wins the case. He's planning to take Jessica down.

War

Open with Mike refusing to do something for Jessica related to Harvey's clients.
SIX NIGHTS EARLIER
Edward is throwing some kind of big party for the firm. Mike hands Harvey three envelopes.
Louis bickers at the bar with an English man named Nigel.
Harvey hands Edward three separate lawsuits from one of his clients to one of theirs. They then make a wager about who will win. If Harvey wins there will be no merger.
After the party Jessica and Harvey argue about the merger. She makes him promise that if loses he'll embrace the merger with open arms. And she agrees that if he beats Edward it won't happen.
Harvey is upset with Scottie for what he believes was her stabbing him in the back.
Rachel tells Mike about Harvard. She asks him how it felt when he got in and he pauses.
Louis spots Nigel kissing Donna's hand and goes ballistic. Nigel tells him he was just getting a tour.
Donna tells Louis that Nigel is doing an efficiency evaluation for Edward's firm, something he has been asked to do for their firm. Donna challenges him to beat Nigel.
Edward drops by Harvey's office and tells him he's about to freeze the assets of one of the clients filing suit. He's doing this in order to allow Harvey a chance to move the client's money in order to fund his defense. He doesn't think it would be "sporting" not to give Harvey a fair chance.
Louis and Nigel have another verbal sparring match in the bathroom.
Rachel has drafted a letter on Mike's head to Harvard as a way to go over Sheila's head. She thinks it's not right that she's being denied admission because of what happened between Sheila and Louis. Mike says he can't sign the letter because it would be hearsay, but eventually agrees to help her.
Mike then drops by Louis' office and tells him about the letter. Louis tells Mike the truth. Mike thinks Louis needs to be honest with Rachel about why she didn't get in.
Edward tells Harvey he'll be leaving town the following day and will be having his No. 2 handle things. It turns out Edward freezing the assets was nothing more than a bait which has opened Harvey's clients up for counter-litigation.
Jessica tells Edward she knows he's taking meetings with other firms. She wonders if he's afraid of losing to Harvey. We learn that Jessica very much wants Edward to beat Harvey, because if he doesn't Harvey will lose respect for her and eventually leave the firm.
Louis tells Harvey he supports him 100 percent. He's concerned that if the merger happens he'll be less valuable because of someone like Nigel. Harvey tells him he needs to buy some time and Louis says he can help.
Harvey drops by Mike's apartment with the strategy he should use against Scottie. It's confidential info from the merger that he wants to use for a reprieve. It's ambiguous legal ground and inadmissible and Harvey admits he's not sure about doing it.
The next day Harvey finds Scottie sitting in his office. Mike, meanwhile, is surprised to find Jessica in the office where he's supposed to meet with Scottie. Simultaneously both women tell both men that it might be time to give up. Mike shows Jessica the file and Harvey tells Scottie that he's made a deal with Jessica that she's gone if he wins. Jessica then comes into Harvey's office and kicks out Scottie. She's upset that he cheated and he's upset she's helping Edwards beat him. They argue over whether the firm even needs Edward's firm at this point. He threatens that he could leave and she says she's going to prove she can control him.
Scottie asks Donna if she's in love with Harvey. She says no and wonders about Scottie's agenda. Scottie admits she's in love with Harvey, but doesn't know how to get him to believe it. Donna says the only way he'll hear it is if she walks away from the merger.
Scottie meets with Mike and gives him a file that would win Harvey's case. He asks why she's giving it to him instead of Harvey. Scottie tells him a story that makes it sound like the only way Harvey will use it is if he doesn't know where it came from.
Mike shows Harvey the file and tells him it's from Scottie. He doesn't want to use it.
Louis and Nigel run into each other at the theater. They appear to strike up a friendship and agree to leave one another's name of the other's list in order to save both of their positions.
Donna tells Harvey about Scottie being in love with him. She's convinced the file is her way of reaching out. Harvey tells he to give Mike the file and Donna said it was already done.
Mike stops by Jessica's office and tells her about the file. She tells him to go home and throw the file away. Jessica threatens him with a letter to the DA about him practicing law without a license. Mike is speechless.
Harvey yells at Mike for not listening to him. Jessica comes in and tells Mike to leave. Harvey tries to fire Mike but she says no. She and Harvey "have it out" with her ultimately telling him he's going to stick around and learn his place.
Scottie tells Harvey somebody told Edward about the file she gave to Mike and she's been fired. He assures her it wasn't him.
Donna tells Louis that Nigel didn't put him on his list. But Louis went back on his word and included Nigel on his. He then tells her he needs to try and be a good friend to Rachel.
Harvey welcomes Edward to the firm with open arms. He then reminds Edward that the merger would never have happened without Scottie and he should give her her job back. He asks Harvey if she should work in New York or London.
After Louis tells Rachel the truth about Harvard she comes to Mike about why he wasn't honest with her in the first place. He is furious that he's lost too many things and isn't read to lose her. She demands he tell her what is going on and he admits he's never been to Harvard. She slaps him several times and tries to leave. He grabs her and they start going at it hot and heavy.

Normandy

Open with Harvey and Mike watching Hanley Folsom on tape. Harvey wants to catch him in a lie but Mike tells him he was denied authorization to hire an investigator.
Jessica tells Harvey the firm is essentially out of money.
Harvey tells Mike the plan is to focus on just one of the seven cases they currently have to work. They agree the case should be Bakersfield, which is run by Folsom's brother-in-law and has the worst stats in terms of gender discrimination.
Harvey arrives at the conference room to find Scottie waiting for him. She's is looking to take ten of their cases.
Harvey suggests that instead of fighting against him with limited resources the only way to beat Daniel might be to partner with Scottie's rich, London-based firm. Jessica reluctantly agrees.
Katrina has been assigned to Bakersfield by Jessica and Mike doesn't like it. Mike tells Harvey, who is unhappy to be working alongside Scottie.
Harvey talks to Scottie, whose goal the whole time was getting him to partner with his firm. She wants to start with Bakersfield, but Harvey suggests Parkville. It's the toughest case to win, but the benefit is that Daniel will never be expecting them to target it. Harvey thinks when they win that case the rest of them will follow. The plan is to pretend they're working all 45 cities in order to confuse Daniel.
Jessica asks Mike and Katrina to find something on Hanley Folsom. Mike learns that Katrina wasn't actually assigned by Jessica, but in fact asked to be on the case. This leads to an argument about the circumstances under which Katrina was hired.
On her firm's private jet Scottie makes a move on Harvey. Harvey weakly tries to fight in on professional grounds but eventually goes along with it.
Rachel gets rejected by Harvard. Donna learns the news but she keeps it from Mike. Despite being near tears she gets it together enough to recommend to Mike they need to go after Hanley's personal correspondence.
Harvey and Scottie arrive in Parkville for the deposition and are greeted by Daniel. He knew they'd be there by checking the flight plan for Scottie's jet. Harvey gets a call from Mike who knows why Parkville manager Kathleen Mitchell, the woman they are deposing, was promoted.
Harvey brings up the fact Mitchell had a hysterectomy nine months before her promotion, suggesting the fact she couldn't have children is the only reason Hanley hired her. Mitchell shoots back that she never told anybody, but Harvey is convinced that Hanley found out.
After the deposition Scottie is furious with Harvey for not telling her what he found out about Mitchell. Scottie says her last loss to Harvey is the reason she hasn't become a name partner. If she wins this case she'll get her name on the door.
Rachel is having trouble focusing and it is hurting Mike in the eyes of Jessica.
In an incredibly condescending way Katrina asks Rachel to stop what she's doing for Mike and do something for her.
Rachel practically bursts into tears telling Louis she didn't get into Harvard. Considering her resume Louis realizes the person responsible is Sheila. He says "I believe you were wronged and I will not have it."
When Harvey and Scottie return they find Jessica and Scottie's boss, Darby, waiting for them. Darby has shown up with a file on clients Daniel has wronged.
Rachel has found Mike the Hanley access he's been looking for, and also mentions the interactions with Katrina.
Katrina brings Harvey the subpoena Rachel found an hour before Mike does. Harvey isn't happy.
Mike yells at Katrina for pursuing his idea and then taking credit for it with Harvey.
Louis pays Sheila a visit and charges her with behaving unprofessionally. Sheila finds this noble, which leads to them having sex.
Rachel tells Mike that Katrina has already found the smoking gun they need. The person she has making the copies is notorious for making slow copies and Mike's plan is to steal the information before it gets to Jessica.
After sex, Sheila tells Louis that Rachel simply wasn't good enough. She actually liked Rachel, but her pool of candidates was simply too strong.
Mike brings Jessica and Harvey the smoking gun, the key to winning Parkville.
Daniel and Hanley arrive for their deposition and find Mitchell sitting in the conference room. Harvey and Jessica tell them they've found an email proving Hanley knew Mitchell couldn't have children and changed his review of her because of the fact. Daniel doesn't think it proves a pattern and leaves with his client.
Katrina waits for Mike and Rachel in Rachel's office. Katrina suggests the two of them are sleeping together.
Jessica tells Darby she's considering his offer and we see her show him the firm's books for the last five years. Harvey sees this through a door.
Harvey confronts Scottie about her firm merging with his and she tells him she wants both of their names on the same door. Darby wouldn't let her tell him about it. Harvey leaves her with "this merger isn't happening."
Jessica and Darby meet with Daniel. She tells him because of their plans of merger Jessica had to show Darby their books, meaning Darby knows about his embezzlement. This means Daniel could lose his client and possibly end up in jail. Jessica recommends he settle on the way out.
Louis lies to Rachel and tells her that his relationship is to blame for her not getting into Harvard. He offers to write her a recommendation for any other school, but she won't be going to Harvard.

He's Back

Open with Daniel deposing Sloane Mosley, the key witness in the Fulsome Foods case. After a few questions Daniel reveals that he's really there to serve Harvey and Mike as part of a $10 million wrongful termination suit on behalf of Monica.
Daniel points out to Jessica and Harvey that because of confidentiality agreements they won't be able to testify about knowing of Monica's relationship with him. On his way out of the building Daniel needles Harvey about his name not being on the door. He says the reason Jessica won't make him a name partner is that she doesn't trust him.
Harvey is upset with Jessica for signing the agreement and thinks they should settle. Harvey also brings up the fact she never told him about it. She isn't interested in settling.
Rachel shows Mike she's working on her application to Harvard. She doesn't want to apply anywhere else because she wants to work at Pearson Hardman.
Louis asks Donna to try and convince Harvey to let him work on the Monica case. She doesn't want to do it.
Harvey tells Mike to focus on Fulsome Foods and let him handle Daniel.
Jessica drops by Robert Zane's place and tells him to get rid of Daniel. He asks for the full story as to why and she tells him about the confidentiality agreement she's signed. It will cost her $15 million to break the agreement and Robert seems impressed with Daniel's work.
Harvey pays the judge who will be hearing their case a visit and presents an option for waiving the confidentiality agreement. The judge says it won't work and tells Harvey Daniel met with him two weeks earlier.
Daniel arrives to depose Jessica. Donna escorts him to the conference room and slaps him across the face a few times as retaliation for what she did to her with the planted memo. During the deposition Daniel attempts to bait her into breaking the confidentiality agreement.

Discovery

Harvey turns him down. Harvey gets a letter tells him there is new evidence in a case he won four years ago. Harvey defended a car company called CM against a complaint its hood was defective. He attacked the deceased victim and won the case. When Mike makes fun of Harvey's music Harvey takes him down the hallway and gives him to Louis for one case.Harvey meets with old adversary Tanner who is representing the victim.
